State of Maine. Maine District Special District Court. COUNTY OF YORK, SS.
ON this seventh day of August personally appeared in open court, before the judge of the District Court of the United States now sitting at Kennebec in the District of Maine, Samuel Emerson a resident of Kennebec in the county of York and State of Maine aged sixty four years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated. Being in a Company of minute men they were then designated commanded by Capt. Stephen Dows, in Halloway in New Hampshire, appointed together by the enthusiastic patriotism of the day; in imitation of the organized system in Massachusetts; the nothing of the kind had been adopted in the then province of New Hampshire; on the alarm given on the 19th of April 1775 that the British troops had marched to Concord & continued to retreat upon the Americans, this Company immediately, without any field officers, marched to the support of their neighbours of Massachusetts & spent their lives in the cause. Their electified every heart. When arrived at Cambridge, the Company requested their Captain, by a unanimous vote, to apply to Colonel William Prescott, whereupon Capt. Dows, who was well known to & highly respected by every man in the Company, to come with his Regiment. This was complied with & we served in his Regiment till the close of the first campaign. There were seven killed of Capt. Dows' Company, in the battle of Bunkerhill. Our Capt. was shot thro' the knee in that affair & was never able to do duty afterwards; but enjoyed the bounty of his Country, till his death. I was a fifer in this Company the only in my eleventh year. In the spring of the year 1778, a Regiment of State troops was raised in New Hampshire, of which Col. Hercules Mooney was Commander, for six months. I enlisted in this Regiment in Capt. Daniel Emerson's Company, & served the term out, by only Colonel Goodrich, in the capacity of a Fifer Major. But as this Regiment was raised under the authority of the State, the records of the War Office undoubtedly contain all the information necessary. I was born in Halloway, in the County of Hillsboro' & State of New Hampshire on the sixth day of September 1714. Have lived in Kennebec 62 years. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State, or (if any) only on that of the agency of the State of

John Nussey S. G. Maine

On the twenty fifth day of April eighteen hundred and thirty three personally appeared before me the undersigned, a justice of the Peace within and for the County of York, Samuel Emerson of Kennebec, Physician, sixty eight years of age who being duly sworn deposeth and says, that in relation to the first service stated in his declaration made before the District Court of the United States on the seventh day of August last past he served in the company of Captain Reuben Dows in Colonel Prescotts Regiment at Cambridge at least eight months - that campaign having always been called the "eight months campaign". He went there on the nineteenth of April and was discharged I had no written discharge in December. The company has since been connected with a Massachusetts Regiment of course not found on the New Hampshire Rolls - I do not know a single man now alive who was with me in the company - The Colonel, all the field officers - the Captain and Lieutenants I know to be dead. I entered the service as a volunteer - though but a very small boy; and I think, from my size, any one who was in the Regiment at that time will remember me - But I remember no one - The following additional facts I remember, in connection with this service. - The captain of the company was John Goss, the Ensign John Cummings. both The orderly sergeant was Joshua Boynton. The field officers of the Regiment were Col o William Prescott, Lieut o Col o Robinson & Major Henry Woods. I was not in the battle of Bunker Hill: the reason was, a few days before the memorable 17 th of June, Lieut o Goss applied to Col o Prescott for leave of absence, for a few days, in consequence of the sickness of his wife, a near relative of mine: being present in the Col o 's quarters, I heard him say that he had just received a summons

to attend a meeting of officers at Genl Ward's quarters, then called head-quarters, & would mention Lieut Goff's request: - on his (the Col's) return, I still was in Col Prescott's room & heard him say to Lieut Goff that he had leave of absence, - he then turned to me & invited me to accompany him home, I replied that I would, with the Col's leave, who was pleased to grant his permission. We had been at home a few days, when, on Sunday the 20 th the news of the battle of Bunker-hill was announced in the meeting house & that seven of our Company were slain & Col Dow shot thro' the knee. Having received this information, Lieut Goff immediately set off & joined the army next morning & I went with him. - The number of dead, in our Regiment was sixty-four, the number of wounded I do not remember. We were absent four or five days.
Col Prescott's Regiment was quartered in Massachusetts-hall during the former part of the campaign, one of the buildings of Harvard College & remained there till about September, when we were detached to a place called Sewall's-point, in Brookline, where we built a fortification. Previous to this, however, I recollect being on fatigue parties, particularly while building the fort on Cobble hill: after a cannon was mounted, the Engineer requested permission of the General to salute the British frigate with a shot, she lying in the stream in fair distance: permission being granted, I had the pleasure of seeing her top-mast handsomely carried away with a double headed shot, which her Capt took as a hint to weigh his anchor & move to a more respectful distance. I faithfully did my duty, as a fifer, thro' a small boy, until the Regiment was disbanded. The reason why I was so much in Col Prescott's quarters, was that he & my Father were intimate friends & the families always acquainted & on friendly terms.
In regard to the campaign of 1779, I was enlisted more than a month before joining the Army at Providence & that it was more than seven months after my enlistment, before the Regiment was disbanded, tho' not in actual service more than six months or a few days less, I was "bound to military service" more than seven months from the time of my enlistment. In neither of the above service, I had no written discharge.

Dr Sir.
I herewith again enclose you the papers in the case of Samuel Emerson. These were first sent, before any others from this vicinity, but were not heard from for the first time until within a few days, though all others which were forwarded after his were heard from some months since. I simply state this fact, that it may give him the benefit of having his papers again examined at an early day.
The original declaration was made out by himself, without the rules of the Department or without consulting any one upon the subject. It may therefore reasonably be expected, that all the requisitions with would not be complied with - all the objections I believe have been answered in his new declaration - and in the new seal - So far as form was not necessary, the additional declaration is in his own hand writing - When in Hollis, four or five years since, he made enquiries, and could not ascertain that there was but one individual alive in his company - He has since died - The accompanying deposition contains the only evidence which he could obtain - I believe however the Department cannot but be satisfied that he served as he says - He is a gentleman of high standing - a member of the Congregational church & Pres. of the Maine Med. Society -
Respectfully Your Obedt Servant

Be pleased to file a declaration in this office, agreeably to the accompanying regulations, and search will be made for the revolutionary service of and the result forwarded to your address. Particular attention is called to the second regulation.
I have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

The following REGULATIONS, to be observed in the examination of the Revolutionary Rolls in this office, have been rendered necessary under the rules which are established in the Pension Department at Washington, viz:—
1. Every application requiring search or certificate must be made to the Secretary, in writing, by the claimant, or by some person duly authorized by the claimant; and the signature to the application must be attested by some magistrate.
2. In all cases where the application is made by any person other than the claimant, a power of attorney, attested by a magistrate , authorizing such person to act in the claimant's behalf, must accompany the application.
3. The application must set forth, as fully as the circumstances of the case will allow, the residence and service of the soldier, and the names of the officers under whom he served; and no search will be made until after the filing of such written application.
“Regulations to be observed in the examination of the Massachusetts Revolutionary Papers in the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth.”
“The application must be made to the Secretary, in writing, by the claimant, or by some person duly authorized by the claimant, by a written power of attorney, attested by a magistrate. The signature of the claimant must in all cases be attested in like manner.
“The application must set forth, as fully as the circumstances of the case will allow, the residence of the soldier, &c., at the time of the service, and the names of the various officers under whom he served, as well as the nature of such service.
“The certificate of the Secretary must show that the search was made, after the filing of such application, by himself, or by one of his Clerks, alone, and must be accompanied by the original application of the claimant or of his attorney, and by a detailed statement, under the signature of the Secretary and the Seal of the State, of the circumstances which satisfied that officer of the identity of the party described in the application with the individual who rendered the service.
J. L. EDWARDS, Commissioner of Pensions.”
The following is an extract from a letter received by the Secretary from J. E. Heath, Esq., Commissioner of Pensions, dated March 19, 1852:—
“I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 3d inst., accompanied by a copy of the Regulations now in force in your office in the examination of your Revolutionary Rolls; and, in reply to your questions, have to state that, in my opinion, the said Regulations could not be relaxed in any particular without serious injury to the Government and the rights of individuals justly entitled to the benefits of the Revolutionary Pension Laws. Indeed, even with those guards around your rolls, I am satisfied they are frequently used by unscrupulous individuals to sustain applications not embraced by the laws, and as a means of obtaining exorbitant fees.”
